Family Photos 2011

It is that time of year again - one that I dread.  For those of you that know me well, you know that I don't handle structured chaos very well.  And trying to get two young children (who are boys) to sit still, stop touching eachother, smile, smile, smile, is a very tough feat for any family.  By the time we left, I was sweating buckets and had a headache.  Needless to say, I don't look forward to picture time at all; until I get the photos back and then I'm happy we did it.  Until next year. . . .

This is the only photo that was taken of the boys together.  Tate was being a pill and just wouldn't smile.  This photo was actually taken by my iPhone. 

Such a studly Tater Tot

My Gap model

He looks so much like my sister

I love this

A little randomness- it's how we roll.

Now that we're well into fall, I thought for sure that things would slow down a bit.  Um . . . .  WRONG!  We're still just as busy, all the time.  Brian is almost done with soccer season - so we're very much looking forward to that!  Here's a few shots of the boys being boys.

Family Fun Night

I recently bought some blank canvases so the boys could create their own individual piece of art.  They thought it was relly cool and really enjoyed doing it.  Brian and I also participated and created our own art work, too.  It was a good Family Fun Night.
